in Accordance with the Standards

According to DIN VDE 0661, portable protective devices are circuit breakers
which can be connected between power consuming devices and permanently installed
electrical outlets by means of standardized plug-and-socket devices. They allow
for the attainment of increased levels of protection as provided by protective
measures utilized in electrical systems for the prevention of dangerous shock
current as defined in DIN VDE 0100-410.

These portable protective devices serve to protect persons from electrical
accidents in the low-voltage range from 130 to 1000 V, and consequently have to
be suitable for commercial use. The SPE-PRCD (switched protective earth -
portable residual current device) is available in different variants. Amongst
other possibilities, they can be installed like an extension cord between a
power consumer (as a rule a power tool) and en electrical outlet.
